Dan, your message above came through fine, and AFAIK, all other messages
have done so. This seems to be the first instance (as you suggest, maybe
the ONLY instance) in which the "mirror" failed.

P.S.: "Mirror," which you techies use to describe this, doesn't seem right.
If the messages were *mirrored*, wouldn't they appear drawkcab?

Unless the mirror was arranged above or below the messages, in which
case they would appear umop apisdn.

But if you arrange two (or any even number) mirrors, they reverse the
reversal and you get a normal image. SLR cameras and submarine
periscopes are examples of this. :)

Really, I think we're using it in the sense of "mirror site", as AHD4
defines it. http://www.bartleby.com/61/68/M0326850.html
